If you didn’t catch Monday night’s ginormous “pink supermoon” your fellow Vancouverites have got you covered.
Known as the Pink Moon, April s full moon rose was at its fullest at 4:13 a.m. so don t feel too bad if you missed it. The Old Farmer s Almanac notes that the Pink Moon got its name from heralding the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox one of the first spring flowers. They note that Native peoples would give distinctive names to each reoccurring full moon to mark the change of seasons. As such, many of these names arose when Native Americans first interacted with colonialists.
